Tony Finau

Who pays, and what gets played

Brand share across the bag, weighted by how often each maker is reported rather than by how many products carry its name — one driver named in ninety reports is not the equal of a grip named once.

• Ping44%
• Nike13%
• Titleist13%
• 14 others31%

Mixed. No maker holds more than 44% of Tony Finau’s cited equipment, which is what a bag looks like when nobody has bought all of it.
